Ernest Vineyards "Edaphos" Las Cimas Vineyard Malvasia Bianca 2023 Russian River

Cépage: 100% Malvasia

120 Cases 

Tasting Notes: The aromas are exuberantly floral and fruity: peaches, pear, honeysuckle and jasmine. On the palate it feels light and refreshing with a very low alcohol percentage, allowing the beautiful aromatic components to show up well integrated on the palate. The palate is more fleshed out than the previous vintage due to the foot treading. There’s also a delightful intersection with citrus and zest, ensuring a bright finish.

Vineyard: Las Cimas sits in the hills on the western edge of the Russian River Valley. At roughly 800 ft elevation, the vineyard is planted to an impressive assortment of grape varieties on its steep sloping hillsides. The soils are sandy clay loam on fractured sandstone, dotted with quartz and schist. The vines are exposed to ample sun, with cooling breezes from the Russian River valley and from the Pacific Ocean just 15 miles to the West.
